What in the wild blue hell happened to the price of the SNES game Run Saber

[Urzu402]

It shot up.... seriously in 2010 I bought it on Amazon for a grand total of 7 bucks and now its almost reaching 40 bucks wtf is up with that? Also this happened with Mega Turrican for the Genesis that went up too

SNES prices across the board are way up. Have you looked at prices for the 2 turrican games for it lately?

This is one of the games that MotherFuckerMike reviewed a few months ago in a top 10 obscure SNES games video. I paid $7 for a loose copy shortly after the video was posted and the price has shot up since then.

Supply, meet Demand.

Yeah the retro videos that people watch make people want to price them higher even if no one knew about them before, that sparks interest and the sellers know that.

Is that what happened to MUSHA? Or has it always been expensive like Radiant Silvergun?

Now I can feel good I got the game complete w/poster a year or so ago for about $25.

It's called Nintendo Age. They have been speculating on the SNES market this year, and as a result prices have sharply increased. It isn't even necessarily the rarest games that are going up, either. I'm sure it will be like Atari 2600 games, and in six years the prices will drop again.

I *so* wish that I would have held onto the 10 copies of Super Turrican 2 that I bought brand new about 8 years ago. Sold 'em on the GOAT Store for $19.99 at the time.

I could probably retire if I sold them now.

Still kicking myself for passing on a copy of Aero Fighters for $4.99 plus tax. Looking it up at the time it was worth around $80-$100, now it's worth around $200-$250 loose. I didn't have a SNES at the time so I wasn't so familiar with the games and I limited myself to no more than $5 total for any loose cart, I really should have just bought it.

I managed to score Aero Fighters and Wild Guns for $4.99 each late last year. Definitely two of my best purchases.

Having a smartphone available helps so much with issues like this nowadays. Before I had one, I would have to call friends or family to look up prices on Amazon while I was at a store, but being able to do a quick search online makes the process so much easier.

that's why a lot of japanese game stores forbid to note down anything on mobile phones while inside the store.
